Eventually, one of the managers discovered a memo from mid-March that said 10.6 Server had been out of production for a long time and supplies were finally exhausted. They kept saying that it had been selling quite briskly, but now they couldn't find it in their product databases. I was escalated up to the department managers, but that went nowhere. Because this was for business use, I wanted to make sure that I got Server since there's no question of its legality for use in virtualization.Īnyway, I got shunted back and forth between several Apple Specialists, the online Apple Store, and Apple Enterprise. Because of the murky legality of running the client OS in virtualization, I tried to buy Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Server (part no. In the last week of March, I ran into the same issue as wicker_man where I needed to virtualize Snow Leopard to run an old vertical app that my company commissioned back in the mid-'90s. Just noticed this thread, so I'm a little late to this party, but. The restriction stands - VMWare will not allow you to virtualize the non-Server version of 10.6 as a result, unsure if VirtualBox enforces the restriction or not. Not El Capitan.Īpple changed the EULA as of 10.7 to allow for virtualizing the 'normal' OS. Note that this discussion revolves around 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
